    10Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?

    11And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

    12And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, [be witness] : when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?

    13Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

    14And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Jehovah, that I die not;

    15but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

    16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies.

    17And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

    4Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

    1And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.

    2And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

    3and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.

    4And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

    5for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

    6And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death.

    7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.

    29and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there] : and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table.

    30Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness?

    31For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

    32And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?

    33And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.

    34So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

    35And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
